Unfortunately, it seems like all the initiatives to make communication bi-direction are (surprise, surprise) proprietary. Doesn’t seem to have occurred to manufacturers that for the same reason we put masking tape with our own labels over their controls, we might want to control what appears on the interface. Even the Lemur I found to be pretty limited in what you could make appear on the screen — i.e., you had to use their visual widgets, etc. (though that I think is also due to technical restrictions).

frontier are putting theirs out for $200 street. it seems a shame that this significantly simpler device (no labels, no datawheel, no LCD and no wifi) has to sell for more than twice that price. i say that because i wouldn’t really want to try using the tranzport for the type of application shown in the demo video. lets hope they can find a way to make this thing for a more appropriate price.
